Those of us with snow-white temples & relying on hipflasks to get us through cold days plus long lonely evenings as the easterly wind blows down the chimneys into living rooms, have much lower income expectations. |

Call me cynical, but I find it interesting, that Stephen Dorrell announced this just weeks after there were reports alleging, that there were 24 MP's and Peers, who backed the Health & Social Care Act 2012, that have links to 15 private healthcare companies that have won numerous NHS contracts worth several billion pounds and that there are more in the pipeline up for grabs ;-) |

It appears that the MP, the "Right Honourable Stephen Dorrell" is coming under pressure for accepting the position as a Health Policy Consultant with the accountancy firm KPMG. |
